The 1920s come with tons of curb appeal, amazing woodwork, often large rooms and tall ceilings (if you are closer to the lake), smaller kitchens (no real space for a fridge and dishwasher) and closets.

You would need to take the doors to a woodworker and see if he could make those same doors in a 12" width.

Old 1900 building with amazing woodwork. 

- electrical box is 2nd living room- attic sealed off due to I believe animals living in it (due to crack between chimney and roof)Cosmetic Upgrades:- repaint int/ext- replace trim (looks like a bad job, DIY style)- shed removal- carpet throughout- new tile in kitchen and front walk way- need to do something with that heat source in 2nd living room (don't like the fireplace much)- deck restoration- fix cracks in drywall- tub liner- replace countertops- fix chimney /bowed roof- window sill replacements- fix slop of floor in kitchen (some how)- closet doors and a lot of wood work needs to be fixedProbably missing a bunch of stuff but the things that really concern me are the slant in the kitchen and the gap between chimney and roof.Thanks for the help, let me know what you guys think.Here are some pictures I took today:

Glad you didn't paint the woodwork.  

I have some friends who had rabbits loose in an apt and they chewed up the woodwork in several spots. 

Hi Bill,On a side note, I've seen those old craftsman homes with restored woodwork and modern kitchens and baths and they seem like real nice family homes.

Custom built all woodworking in the home.

depending on your time frame you can do this yourself just don't get in a hurryutube some floor revamps lots of infoif you know of a wood worker shop in your area go get one of the ol timers to come take a look at the flooring they really have some great input on wood types and best finishesenjoy

The best thing to do is sit and observe a real pro paint woodwork.
